9/22/09 - Port-a-Potty

I always feel heartfelt sympathy for anyone that has to use these god-forsaken things. I had my fill of these things when working on The Alamo.

9/18/09 - Got Air?

75 cents... Tsk, tsk. I know I'm old when I can say that I remember air being FREE when I was a kid...

8/11/09 - Chips

This is the first bag of chips I've had in over 5 months... hey, I was hungry and stuck in rush hour traffic. You'd have done the same. And... from the archives...

Taken at an old school photo booth in a Putt-Putt on this date many moons ago (ala "The Karate Kid"), back before we had a clue what digital meant or how it would one day take over in so many aspects. Chris and I walked almost 5 miles (4.9 miles, ala Google Maps) that late afternoon to be with those girls that night (let's see if they can get guys to do that for them now!)... and yes, I'd do it over again. That's the kind of thing you do when you're that age--before life really teaches you things, before you get jaded... and when you don't have a car. Even then, I had a "thing" for documentation and wrote the date, time and had everyone in the picture sign my section of the strip. With no scissors, I folded and tore them apart and everyone got a section of the strip after it was FINALLY processed. Mine survived countless moves and life changes in an old book for all these years--Lord only knows how the others fared.

8/10/09 - Therapy

This is the vantage point I had from my roller bed at the Chiropractor's office today. One of the nurses drew a cartoon (quite well!) on the markerboard which depicts a wife massaging her husband's back with a rolling pin on the kitchen island. With cookie dough and batter set aside on the counter, the kids look on, while the wife nags her husband, "If you had made an appointment with your chiropractor... the cookies would be done by now."

8/9/09 - I'm Not Gay...

...but I love rainbows.

8/8/09 - Watermelon Graveyard

Recently, I've been on a bit of a watermelon kick--and that's probably a gross understatement. And, rather than filling up the garbage cans so quickly, the empty lot next door has become the resting place for most of my watermelon rinds (hey, they're 100% biodegradable). One side note: I didn't realize there was a hornet inside that watermelon until well after I took the picture--otherwise, I would have seriously reconsidered.

8/3/09 - Attempted Robbery in Progress?

Considering they were $2.50 a piece a couple of days ago at H-E-B, I wouldn't say that $6.99 is a "low price."

7/30/09 - Texas License Plate 12Z-BF7

What an asshole. 'Nuff said.

7/29/09 - Redbox

I love Redbox. I stopped to rent a movie on the way home (Rambo) and grabbed this pic. If you'd have told me 15 years ago I would one day be renting movies from a vending machine, I wouldn't have believed it. The upside: convenience, cost and no overpriced temptations at the checkout line like there is at Blockbuster (i.e. M&Ms -- damn, I love those things...). The downside: limited selection.

7/15/09 - Time

I took this in downtown Buda... at 1:45 pm. If nothing more, at least I'll remember what time it was when I took this picture...
